A Conscious Universe? - Dr Rupert Sheldrake

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: bit.ly/new-talks5
The sciences are pointing toward a new sense of a living world. The cosmos is like a developing organism, and so is our planet, Gaia. The laws of Nature may be more like habits. Partly as a result of the ‘hard problem’ of finding space for human consciousness in the materialist worldview, there is a renewed interest in panpsychist philosophies, according to which some form of mind, experience or consciousness is associated with all self-organizing systems, including atoms, molecules and plants. Maybe the sun is conscious, and so are other stars, and entire galaxies. If so, what about the mind of the universe as a whole? Rupert Sheldrake will explore some of the implications of this idea.
Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of more than 85 scientific papers, and was named among the top 100 Global Thought Leaders for 2013. He studied natural sciences at Cambridge University, where he was a Scholar of Clare College, took a double first class honours degree and was awarded the University Botany Prize in 1963. Dr Sheldrake then studied philosophy and the history of science at Harvard before returning to Cambridge, where he took a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1967.
He is the author of 13 books, and in 2012 he published ‘The Science Delusion’. This book examines the ten dogmas of modern science, and shows how they can be turned into questions that open up new vistas of scientific possibility. It received the Book of the Year Award from the British Scientific and Medical Network. His most recent book: ‘Ways To Go Beyond, And Why They Work’ was published in 2019, and looks at seven spiritual practices that are personally transformative and have scientifically measurable effects.

    I love how before the 17th century the prevailing world view was all life had consciousness, including animals & plants, planets, etc. Very unfortunate the subsequent mechanized view reducing animals to machines with no souls. Thank goodness people like yourself Dr. Sheldrake are resurrecting the subject for a greater understanding.

    I agree with you that it is unfortunate that the mechanized view of animals and plants became the prevailing worldview in the centuries after the 17th century. This view reduced animals to machines with no souls, and it led to a great deal of suffering for animals. I am hopeful that the work of Dr. Sheldrake and others will help to resurrect the subject of consciousness in animals and plants. I believe that it is important to understand that all living things are interconnected, and that we should treat all living things with respect and compassion.

    The awesome thing I did for myself was when I turned my backyard into a mini forest. I never felt this good and somewhat spiritual and closer to the universe. I kid you not! My mini forest consists of five 30 feet Japanese Maple Trees, one 30 feet Magnolia Tree, 12 Pine Trees about fifty feet tall, Alberta Spruce, Lilacs Trees, Smokey Bush Trees, Walnut Tree, Japanese Apple Tree, climbing trumpet flower, birds and annual flowers. I love my backyard. When I feel sad, I walk barefoot in the backyard and hug my trees. I find joy and happiness being in the backyard. It took me 26 years of hard work and finally I’m starting to enjoy my trees. That’s how long it took those trees to grow into those heights. It’s like a condominium between those branches. So many birds are living in my trees. So cute! Thank you everybody who’s here in the comment section. Life might be difficult for all of us but there is always bright light at the end of the tunnel .❤❤❤ I do hope and pray that we keep loving each other. We live in a troubled world. Love and kindness is stronger than negative force.❤❤❤

    JESUS IS LORD The purpose of life is to worship, praise and serve God! TRUE Christianity is Relationship with God. NOT MANMADE RELIGION. Christianity is from Jesus Christ. Jesus created mankind. Religion is mans word. God is INFINITELY (in the literal sense) BETTER THAN ALL THINGS!! 1. believe fully and sincerely in Jesus Christ, the Savior of all humans from sin. 2. Truly Repent of every sin, for example say "Jesus, please forgive me for all sins." 3. Become baptized (recommended, not needed but it helps), and BE SPIRITUALLY REBORN (aka Born Again).

    My father was a believer in hard science. He was basically a rocket engineer. He had no time for spirituality and thought it hogwash. He was quite surprised when his mother and brother would come and visit him while his body failed due to cancer. They both passed away years earlier. He described to me some of his experiences, and he had all the classic hits, too. He experienced time phenomenon, he would swear he was somewhere else for days when he never left his bed. There was a distinct "guide" that was with him. Dad didn't like him. He manifested as a security guard and wouldn't let my dad leave, even pulled a gun on him once. He had visitations from deceased family members. He was calm. Very calm for understanding his situation. He didn't want to die but there was no panic in him at all. He knew he was going to die. In 45 years it was the only time he ever called just to talk. He knew.... Anyhow if a man like my father can have the classic near death experience, that tells me there is something else going on. As well, i had a desperate urge to get a haircut. I probably get one every 3 to 6 months. I drove across town to the only barber I could find, I was just determined. My dad called me less than a minute after I left the barber. It was a video call. He never did that before and ad I said it was probably only the third time he called in 45 years.There are things in the Universe we don't understand and just don't perceive in our daily lives, but they are there. There is something that connects us, I know. It made me get a haircut.

    The Universe IS conscious, and it communicates with you via synchronicity. Synchronicity IN TANDEM with the "little voice" inside you. However, the universe, for whatever reason, prefers order & love. And, you'll find the universe awfully quiet if you perpetuate negativity, chaos, or hate. One thing it took me a LONG-TIME to understand is the following: Being kind, loving, and altruistic usually comes with a personal cost, so it almost NEVER seems worth it. Yet, this is the only way to truly "walk a higher path."

  • @BorisNoiseChannel

    Tell me: what comes at a higher personal cost: perpetuating negativity, chaos and hate, or being generally kind and compassionate (I don't see any good in altruism), all of which have nothing to do with being naive and okay to being taken advantage of, since opening yourself to be victimized contributes to turns others into culprits, which isn't a loving thing to do. And on the universe, preferring order is like saying that the earth is the way it is to provide a place to live for the plants and animals we find on it. In reality it's the other way around: Those for whom the environment can't maintain them, seize to exist, so what remains are those who can cope with the situation. Then: synchronicity isn't a form of communication. If 2 hailstones of the same size fall from the same cloud to the ground at the same speed next to each other, it isn't due to a preferred order, but because they're both bound by the same physics involved.

There was a billboard next to home, in an alley, where it is unlikely to find a taxi. I said to the billboard: you always direct people, you are an expert in directions; it is noon and hot, please direct a taxi to me here. Five taxis showed up in a moment in this small alley.

    What somewhat annoys me about Sheldrake, repeating it several times that _'' you can't talk about these experiences, cause they'll think you're crazy''._ It's a whiny kind of accusing _''the materialist''_ (also meant as a denigrating term hinting at _'closed mindedness'_ with a: _'' you just can't reason with folks like that''_ air of superiority about it. In fact: The exact opposite is true; and all sorts of studies and experiments are done to try and find out _scientifically_ what's going on when such experiences happen. (like putting highly trained zen-masters in MRI brain-scanners). No-one is denying that _'other states of consciousness'_ happen. What is generally dismissed as unscientific (which only means Sheldrake is jumping the gun with it, _not_ that it's or can't be true, but simply that the one (experiencing an other state of consciousness) _doesn't_ imply, show, or prove _''that their consciousness is part of something greater than themselves,''_ let alone that these experiences, or the fact that ancient beliefs talk about the sun and the planets as conscious entities prove anything. And he totally missing the plot when he says that those, supposedly narrow minded scientists who supposedly just call you crazy, when they (rightfully) say that experiencing those altered states of consciousness _doesn't_ prove a connection to another, greater kind of consciousness from outside of themselves, that it's those scientists turn to prove him wrong! When a (formally) well known, respected and renowned scientist, suddenly seems to have forgotten that it's always the one making the claim to present evidence for it; that it's impossible to prove a negative (just like you can't prove (a) god(s) doesn't exist, and thus that it's the job of the person _claiming_ its existence to provide evidence), it's no more than logical his former highly regarded reputation has significantly diminished over the years. And him, repeatedly cry-babying about that, blaming the critique on all kinds of character flaws in those expressing it, and hinting at it, being a forbidden topic (while, like I said, the research in that field is done in all sorts of ways and in many different places), is a bloody shame and just sad. Anyway; I've done all sorts of drugs in my youth; made all sorts of the wildest trips, without moving a foot. And I still meditate daily, in which I sometimes have an entire conversation with the pole star, and some of my friends love to here about it; amazed what the human mind can come up with. Not once did anyone called me crazy. I'm sure, though, they would start getting concerned if I started proclaiming I'm the pole star's chosen one to channel the ancient wisdom of its mind into mine to tell the rest of humanity _The Truth_ of life's origin, meaning and purpose and teach them all _The Only_ true path to love and happiness. If that happens I HOPE they'd try to get me to seek psychiatric help. All the best to you too

Just imagine if Dr Sheldrake’s theory is correct, I wonder how many scientists would have a nervous breakdown and call Dr Sheldrake a Charlatan. Even now, scientists theories about the universe are forever changing. Nothing concrete about their facts is there?

    Tell me about it! Taking lots of notes here using Jim Kwiks' system which I've found to be the most effective at absorbing and processing information. I've had many similar experiences with other forms of consciousness, most recently through spirituality and breathwork which brought me here. I think because of the dualistic dogma of western science we have been completely disconnected from all this and now through technology and the internet we're finding our way back to our true nature...

I have been thinking about the fractal nature of much of the universe and wondering if there aren't varying scales of consciousness attached to varying levels of physical organization that both generate and serve as a conduit for universal consciousness, and then I hear Sheldrake proposing basically the same thing. Makes me wonder.

Connections between concepts and ideas are realized in unconventional ways resulting in either brilliant new ideas or typical intellectual bovine manure. That is mainly depended by the raw material that's available to our brains. If that raw material is credible epistemology then defuse states of thinking can produce brilliant results. If not, then we usually end up with useless new age woo....like this guy does in the video.

    Well just because we like a specific story of a "scientist"...that doesn't make it scientific. In order for science to accept these pseudo philosophical claims he first needs to falsify the current Scientific paradigm which is verified for more than 500 years. Then he needs to prove Methodological Supernaturalism correct and replace Methodological Naturalism's from being the philosophical backbone of science. -"The way the scientific establishment has treated him"....is how all crackpot charlatans who ignore the rules of logic and Science;s Standards of evidence and evaluation should be treated.

    @@nickolasgaspar9660 It is extremely easy to falsify the ‘material reductionist’ belief that underpins science. As for evidence, there is an abundance of that if you have the eyes to look.

    @@andrewsheehy2441 first of all you can't falsify an unfalsifiable metaphysical worldview (materialism). That claim is as irrational as the statements mades by materialism. Secondly even if you could do that, materialistic worldviews are incompatible with the philosophical backbone of science, that is Methodological Naturalism. So you are attacking a strawman there. Now evidence that prove .... unfalsifiable worldviews need to be objective, meening that everyone's eyes should be able to see them....not only those who already have faith in supernatural stories. Again it's not science's fault that we can't accept undetectable, untestable, unfalsifiable, invisible, non objective, independently non verifiable claims about supernatural causation. It's Logic, it's rules, principles and criteria that define the high standards of evaluation and verification in science. So the lack of objective independent verification of different supernatural claims is what makes them irrational, not science's principles to exclude claims that can it be tested. This is Philosophy of Science 101 mate.

    @@nickolasgaspar9660 I think you are very confused. It is clear that the reality we are part of contains matter (e.g. ‘atoms’) and non-matter (e.g. the laws of physics and mathematical truths). You can’t have a reality without laws that define how that reality is. But those laws have no material from. Further, even at the base level, there is no actual ‘matter’ - all there is are mathematical objects. So it is very clear that there is ‘something’ - which is present everywhere which has no material form, but which exists anyway. Einstein knew this, as have many other physicists. The challenge for science - for it to get out of the rut it is in - is to discover the true nature (e.g. the science) that explains this ‘something else’. I think there are very powerful scientific arguments that suggest the laws that define biological life as well as those that explain intelligence are somehow also part of this ‘something else’. Sure, there is no proof that this exists - but that is because no serious scientist would be allowed to look. Eventually, future generations will work it out. But sticking our heads in that sand and declaring that such a thing doesn’t exist, and therefore isn’t worth looking for, is to reject the thesis of the scientific method - Cartesian Doubt.

    ​@@andrewsheehy2441 Andrew.....you can not accuse people for being "confused" when you previously confused Methodological Naturalism with a Materialistic metaphysical worldview and just now you called "non-matter" the tools we use to describe properties of matter(laws) and how they relate (math)! -"You can’t have a reality without laws that define how that reality is. But those laws have no material from." - oh boy. Laws are our descriptions of matter's properties. LAws are not magical substances or forces that aren't contingent to properties of matter. You can not use an abstract concept to argue in favor of an invisible dimension/entity. Abstract concepts are labels describing conditions and processes of the physical world! -"Further, even at the base level, there is no actual ‘matter’ - all there is are mathematical objects." -Again...you are confusing the tools we use to describe reality with the ontology of the building blocks of reality. That is classic categorical error. Here is a simple test you can make. Try running, head first, through a brick wall. Try first while ''believing" that the wall that is about to crack your skull open is a "mathematical object" and then try it again while accepting the established scientific framework (electromagnetic cohesion of molecules of solid physical structures). So guess what the result would be in both cases...feel free to repeat as many times as you like. SO you need to understand that HOW we describe or what we believe about matter is not part of reality. They are abstract concepts designed to convey information about their qualities, properties and interactions. -"So it is very clear that there is ‘something’ - which is present everywhere which has no material form, but which exists anyway" -No there isn't and we have never verified such claim. What you present as "something" is elementary school error...where kids confuse labels of abstract concepts of reality for independent entities. This is how humanity created the gods of Justice, the god of luck , the god of evil...etc. This is iron age philosophy sir. -"Einstein knew this, as have many other physicists." -Argument from false authority fallacy. First of all physicists hold metaphysical beliefs. Those beliefs are not knowledge. Secondly, the unfalsifiable metaphysical views of a credible scientist are not better or more correct to any other belief a crackpot philosopher holds. The opinion of an Authority has special value ONLY WITHIN HIS FIELD and only when it is backed up with evidence. 1/2

    Most enlightening talk. I first encountered Dr. Sheldrake when I read his landmark book, "Dogs Who Know When Their Owners Are Going Home'. His views strongly resonated with my own, the most primary of which is that everything has a consciousness. Bring Asian, I gravitated to the Eastern school of thought even if Iwas born in a country steeped in Western religion.Intuitively, the ideas and thoughts Dr. Sheldrake share seem to be things I've known before and just forgot akin to what British magus, David Conway, told his mentor. Having so many mystical experiences, it becomes difficult to deny ideas and thinking that go against popular theories and beliefs.

    If they exist in space- time I have my doubts. There are many more dimensions as just the ordinary 4 dimensions. They are consisting of transcendent numbers, so that is already a hint of their "out of time and space" origin. To explain the teleological movement (like natural evolution) of the world requires at least 5 or 6 dimensions. But complex numbers are really the coolest thing of reality and they are complete, so there is no further dimensions they need and no other numbers beyond them is recognizable. No number system is beyond. Our technical world would be rather impossible to be created by us without them. Who knows who (which exiting entity) created them? That's my fascinating question to me.

    One of the fantastic talks I ever heard. In older period,people were grateful to whatever phenomenon which made life possible on earth.In India they prayed for these by assuming each as a God in humble obeisance. The sky first appeared from it. Then air was born, then fire was born, then water was born. Then the earth element was born. These were called ‘five elements‘ in our theology. These are also called ‘Panchmahabhoot‘ i.e. the basic substances that make up the universe, then from the earth, vegetation, food from vegetable and living being originated. In our theology, the lords of these five elements have been called ‘gods’ such as- (1) Aakash Dev, (2) Vayu Dev, (3) Agni Dev, (4) Varun Dev and (5) Bhumi Devi. These five deities physically exist in the form of deities in the assembly of Lord Brahma and on the other hand operate the creation by being pervaded in space.

    India invented the concept that all life is suffering and that only removing oneself from it could bring happiness. India is really full of it. ;-)
